:: ABOUT THE ARTISTS :: Soulfly's seventh album, Omen, stands steeped in tradition. Available May 2010, frontman Max Cavalera fuels Omen with the same blood, fire, and spirit that made him a genre icon in the bands Sepultura, Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy. Following the warpath left by 2008's critically acclaimed Conquer, Omen is a sign of Soulfly becoming an even fiercer, fierier and more furious metallic monster, seven albums into their storied career. Various Soulfly traditions remain upheld over the course of the album's 11 tracks. Bobby Burns' bass rumbles and roars on teeth-gnashing opener "Bloodbath and Beyond," as Joe Nunez commences pure percussive pummeling. Marc Rizzo tears through throat-slitting leads, while still making room to groove on the likes of "Lethal Injection." Max's unmistakable vocals and riffs work in tandem for the ultimate aural assault.
Max and Co. simply don't stop. Soulfly's Gold-certified, self-titled debut, has become a genre classic since its 1998 release. Six records and countless sold out shows across the world have paved the path for Omen. For Max, his latest Soulfly offering is the culmination of over a decade of growth.
In the past, Max has collaborated with everyone from Slipknot's Corey Taylor and Slayer's Tom Araya to Deftones' Chino Moreno and Sean Lennon. He's opted for two more genre luminaries this time around. On "Rise of the Fallen," Max trades schizophrenic vocal tirades with Dillinger Escape Plan's Greg Puciato.
All around, Omen functions as portent for Soulfly's future by drawing upon their past. "This is Soulfly's seventh album. With Sepultura, I only did six albums. Soulfly survived the times. It survived the crisis. After it took off with the first record, I never stopped or looked back. I just kept going. We're going to the future with Omen. Metal is still alive and kicking. Because you get older, it doesn't mean you need to get boring. The older I get, the more psycho I get. The albums get heavier and more aggressive. That's the message of Omen. Music is all I know how to do. It's all I like to do. This album just reaffirms that I can keep rocking."
